CHAPTER 773: CHAPTER 773: MUTUAL SUSPICION

Fu Shu suddenly changed hospitals, there must be a reason.

Perhaps it’s because she knows they found something, so she reported the doctor.

Li Huan said, "My colleague mentioned he printed an extra copy, but took it home. He’ll check it when he gets back."

There really isn’t a better solution right now.

As she was about to hang up, Lin Zhiyi reminded, "Huanhuan, keep an eye on that female classmate of yours."

"Don’t worry, I’m not some domineering CEO, right? Not the big prize, right, Third Young Master."

"Li Huan." Gong Chen’s tone carried a hint of warning.

"Bye."

Li Huan hung up the phone.

He rested his cheek on his hand, pondering the events, just as a nurse came in.

"Bed 28 needs you."

"Coming."

Li Huan devoted himself to his work.

Meanwhile, in the office.

Gu Yingxi stared at the medical record in front of her, unresponsive for a long time.

Lying in the lounge chair, Nina was somewhat displeased and said, "Mom, does Daddy Lee really like me?"

Gu Yingxi snapped back to reality, "Of course, you’re so adorable, how could he not like you?"

"Then why doesn’t Dad like me? He..."

"Nina, let’s not bring up the past. We’ve got a fresh start now," Gu Yingxi advised.

"Oh."

Nina snuggled deeper into her thick blanket and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Gu Yingxi pulled open the drawer and took out a medical report.

Fu Shu.

It’s her again.

She’s like a lingering ghost.

Gu Yingxi stared at the name on the report, unable to forget her expression when she picked it up.

Shock.

Just when she escaped one nightmare, another begins haunting her.

Initially, she was just curious about what Li Huan was hiding, wanting to understand his life better.

Unexpectedly, she saw the name of an old acquaintance.

So, she instinctively hid the report.

Back in the office, she called a friend abroad.

After some inquiries, she understood what had happened after she left.

Just as she was lamenting life’s cyclical justice, she suddenly realized what kind of report she was holding.

Why would Fu Shu do such a test at the hospital?

When Gu Yingxi tried to find out the time of Fu Shu’s next check-up, she was told that Fu Shu had canceled her appointment.

Gu Yingxi worried Li Huan knew something.

She secretly reported him, preventing Li Huan from overstepping his authority to look at others’ medical records.

She didn’t want Li Huan to know what had happened abroad.

The memories ended.

Gu Yingxi once again stared at the report in her hand, recalling Li Huan’s earlier reaction.

Why does Li Huan care so much about Fu Shu’s report?

After thinking for a few seconds, Gu Yingxi picked up her phone and sent a message to a friend.

"I brought some obstetrics books from abroad that you wanted. Let’s set a time tomorrow for me to give them to you."

"Great, thank you."

...

Late at night.

Li Huan finished his work and was preparing to leave when he heard someone calling him from behind.

"Li Huan."

Gu Yingxi approached carrying the sleeping Nina.

"Finished work? You should head home early," Li Huan smiled.

"Li Huan, did I throw away something while tidying up? Is it important?" Gu Yingxi asked apologetically.

"It’s fine. I’m leaving now."

Li Huan turned to leave.

Suddenly, Nina started crying.

"Waa waa... Mom... I... Dad."

"Nina, don’t move around. Mommy almost can’t hold you anymore," Gu Yingxi swayed.

"Daddy!"

Nina, half-asleep, looked at the man next to her and jumped over.

Li Huan was startled, but caught Nina to prevent her from falling.

Nina clung tightly to Li Huan, "Daddy."

Li Huan felt a bit bewildered.

Just then, a colleague saw them.

"Wow, you three look like a family."

"No, Nina just woke up cranky," Gu Yingxi explained.

"Hehe, exactly, exactly."

"..."

Li Huan didn’t bother explaining.

He helplessly looked at Gu Yingxi, "Let’s go, I’ll help you get her to the car."

Gu Yingxi sighed, "Thanks."

The two headed towards the parking lot together.

On the way, Gu Yingxi brought up the earlier topic again.

"I heard some colleagues were reported by patients. Do you know what happened? I just got back and am a bit worried I’ll say the wrong thing and be complained about. I’m still on probation."

Li Huan glanced at her in the night, nonchalantly.

"Some pregnant women wanted to find out the baby’s gender through relations in obstetrics and gynecology. He refused, so they found an excuse to complain."

"I see, such things aren’t mentioned abroad; everyone knows the baby’s gender in advance," Gu Yingxi said.

"We’re not in obstetrics or gynecology, so we don’t face that issue. Just be careful when talking to patients."

Saying this, they reached the car.

Opening the door, Li Huan placed Nina in the back seat.

Closing the door, he leaned on the car and looked at Gu Yingxi.

"When did you start getting interested in these gossip matters?"

"To be honest, ever since I returned, I’ve been curious about everything. I regret going abroad for a man back then," Gu Yingxi admitted sincerely.

Li Huan said calmly, "It’s all in the past, go home now."

"Okay."

Gu Yingxi drove away.

Li Huan stood there, watching the departing car thoughtfully.

...

A few days passed peacefully.

Lin Zhiyi’s studio was gaining momentum.

However, something took her by surprise.

The assistant reported, "Miss Lin, the jewelry you sold to the Bai family, half of it ended up in the Pawnshop and..."

Lin Zhiyi frowned slightly.

"What’s going on?"

"The Pawnshop is sort of a middleman," the assistant explained awkwardly. "Some inconvenient items are pawned at a very low price; a third party buys them at the same low price, with complete procedures, essentially finding a deal, although this is usually for... bribery."

Lin Zhiyi immediately understood.

"You’re saying Mrs. Bai used the jewelry she bought to curry favor with others."

"Actually, this doesn’t affect us much, as it’s a secret deal. But for some reason, there’s talk that our jewelry is worthless, and can’t be sold at the Pawnshop. Besides the inherent gemstone value, there’s also brand value. If there’s no potential for brand appreciation, our brand could depreciate too."

The assistant’s words made Lin Zhiyi realize Yang Jingwei wanted to secretly undermine her.

She calmed down and thought for a while.

Suddenly, she came up with a good solution.

"Find someone to spread a message for me."

"What message?" the assistant asked curiously.

"Just say Mrs. Bai’s company is in crisis, so she’s selling off jewelry at low prices. Those looking for deals can check the Pawnshop. Then, post an announcement that due to rising gemstone prices, those jewelry pieces will have a price increase, nothing too drastic."

After saying that, Lin Zhiyi smiled.

The assistant’s eyes lit up, "Got it! We not only avoid losses but also make Mrs. Bai suffer greatly."

"Go ahead."

"Alright." The assistant turned around and walked a few steps before returning, pulling out an invitation, "I nearly forgot; this is an invitation from the Jiang family for a banquet."
